About Salary Conversion
Converting between hourly wages and annual salaries is straightforward when you assume a standard work year.
Standard Work Year
A standard full-time work year in the US is typically considered 2,080 hours. This comes from:
40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = 2,080 hours
Common Formulas
- Hourly to Annual: Hourly Rate × 2080
- Annual to Hourly: Annual Salary ÷ 2080
- Monthly to Annual: Monthly Pay × 12
- Bi-Weekly to Annual: Bi-Weekly Pay × 26
Note: "Bi-Weekly" means every two weeks (26 paychecks/year), while "Semi-Monthly" means twice a month (24 paychecks/year). This small difference affects the amount per paycheck significantly.
